The reason I wanted to share this post is configuring static IP on CentOS seems to trouble many centos users. Probably, when you configure static IP, network may not work as you expected, sometimes no internet access, sometimes no IP address  on eth0 etc..


First, "watch-out whether it is a CentOS Desktop version or Server version".? because they are runs at different run-levels, where;
- Desktop ver runs on run-level 5
- Server ver runs on run-level 3


Second, watch-out the configuration on  
  $ vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
